InfoWorld reports that Linksys has opted to go “dual-band” with their wireless products as they released their newest line of goodies. I really kick myself right now since I have a notebook that has both 802.11g/a wireless capability. Man, if had just waited a little longer. :o)

With its eyes on the future of home entertainment and a relatively uncluttered band of radio spectrum, Cisco Systems’ (Profile, Products, Articles) Linksys (Profile, Products, Articles) division on Wednesday unveiled a line of IEEE 802.11g/a wireless LAN products.

The devices, including a router and clients for both notebooks and desktops, can provide Wi-Fi connectivity over either of two unlicensed radio bands. The 2.4GHz band, used by 802.11g, is also home to some cordless phones, microwaves and other devices that can cause interference. The 802.11a technology uses spectrum in the 5.0GHz band, where there is less competition from other devices and services.
